When I try to use the following:
beet import -s /path/to/songs
beets does change the names of the songs, but not the release year. This only happens when I use the spotify version of the song, Musicbrainz tags the release year just fine. Here is my config.yaml if its needed:
directory: C:\Users\Username\Music\flac
library: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\beets\library.db
import:
    copy: no
    write: yes
    original_date: yes
    from-scratch: yes
plugins: spotify parentwork
parentwork:
    auto: yes
spotify:
    source_weight: 0.0
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
